the word corps in this phrase is pronounced more closely to the word "core". the corps is a military oriented student program at A&M that will straighten you up. You will go through PT, cut your hair in a crew cut, you will have to yell out you name, major, and city when asked to "whip out." A hella freaking crazy choice to go into while going to college. Mostly all white students who discipline each other and go through some rigorous training.

A group of persians. They act as though they are the toughest kidst ever. It turns out they need their parents to pay kids not to fight them. Most of their day is spent sending invites to everyone on facebook for luxxzy and burn the books. They are known for using excessive amounts of hair gel and they stink of excessive amounts of cologne. They also refuse to wear their seatbelts and drive without insurance. Can mostly be found hanging out at the office "TD Bank". Their vocabulary consits of brooooo, mint, fast, live, are u serious, luxxxy, mansion, and all ages club. In closing they are the biggest fags ever.

In modern times, marching band for people too stupid to spell properly - or care enough to use a spellchecker. Such people are usually woefully ignorant about a lot of other things too. Sometimes this is due to the presence and influence of mediocre teachers, purported leaders and even predators who use children for reasons of sexual or financial exploitation. All of these are very bad signs of something no one decent should want to be involved with. Amusingly for "corp" critics, "corp" is also the abbreviation (without the period) for corporation - and corporate exploitation is often one of the reasons for the ignorance and lack of care such mispellings reflect.

The use of the terms "drumcorps", "drumcorp", "drum corp" and "corp" are all signs of ignorance and a lack of respect for drum corps, drum and bugle corps and other genuine marching musical history.
